22 May 2013

There is a lot of cognitive dissonance and speculation in the market about Dell’s announcement this week to service public cloud customers by engaging partners. I’d like to offer up a few comments on the resulting feedback I’ve received from customers, partners and in the media to help set the record straight.

Our goal is to make our customers happy and productive, while we...

As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same is true for data governance. There are a lot of things that need to be in place to make data governance effective.

On April 23, the United States Postal Service (USPS) became the latest to confirm something we all already knew: data governance isn’t something that springs out of the ground fully formed – it must be strategically built,...
